when your breastfeeding I know people wean them off. but I'm curious if since its natural won't your body quit making it as much and slowly just stop as he gets older?? right??? Like I know there are people who breastfeed tell they are like 5 and I don't want that. but maybe 2?? but I'm wondering if it will just happen naturally I Dont like the sound of weaning him??? @thehowtohippie I thought I've seen u post information on this

As they get older and their nutritional needs change, the breastmilk will change to accommodate those needs. And just like with any age baby/toddler, the more or less you bf or pump, that's how much you'll produce. I only bf my 17mo a couple times a day, so I make enough for that. But if I were to bf her 6 times a day, I'd produce enough to feed her that often. So if a woman is regularly bf, they could continue as long as they or the child wants.

Your body will produce however much baby is eating no matter the age. So if at 2 baby is still nursing a lot your body will create that milk that baby/toddler needs. Your body doesn't wean itself from the toddler the toddler weans from you there by causing your supply to decrease along with them

And he very well might wean himself before 2
